Re: [oberheim] Voice board for OBXA ....

2007-03-19 by Les Lambert

I've got two cards, but they both got a bit robbed
before I got them. Multiple Curtis chips required,
probably more expensive than we care to be involved
with. 
Also it's worth bearing in mind that fixing these
synths up for reliable operation is really only for
the wealthy. The Molex connectors don't last, the
power supplies tend to fry their diode bridges etc. 
The build quality of the boards was excellent, but
some of the service engineers have caused some
problems for the current admirers. 

They do sound fantastic, only the Memorymoog does it
better, but are equally difficult to keep functional,
and cost abot three times as much to buy. 
Nobody seems to have made the noises available any
other way either.
The bottom line is, can you afford to own it? It's a
bit like an old Jag XK I think.
